Bath resealing in Longtown

About our bath resealing in Longtown

We cut out all of the old sealant, deal with any mould, and reseal with new mould-resistant silicone. We do this for baths, showers, sinks and worktops, and that includes the awkward spots behind the taps. Common call-outs are for silicone coming away from the tiles and a messy previous reseal, across shower trays & enclosures, basins & vanity units and wet rooms.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Longtown

In time, even good sealant discolours. Steam, soap and movement all wear it down.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Gaps in the seal
  • Unsealed corners
  • Water getting behind the bath or tray
  • An untidy old seal

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
  • A flexing bath
  • Tiles that move, until they’re refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Baths
  • Kitchen worktops & sinks
  • Basins & vanity units
  • Wet rooms
  • Shower trays & enclosures

What affects the price in Longtown

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Why reseal now?

Sealing over old silicone is a false economy. It soon peels, and traps mould underneath. We remove the old sealant completely. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Longtown clients choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Questions from Longtown

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What does bath resealing cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HR2 postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How long does a reseal take?

Around two hours for a bath, plus curing time.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes about two hours for a bath, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
  2. Old sealant and residue are removed.
  3. We clean, treat and dry the joint.
  4. Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
  5. The bead is smoothed, the tape removed and the seal left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What your bath or shower is made of matters

Sinks and worktops

Basins, vanity units and kitchen worktops are resealed too, once the joint is completely dry.

Baths

Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint is at its widest.

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Open a window after bathing
  • Clean the joints with a mild cleaner
  • Keep the joints dry
  • Ventilate the bathroom well

Let it cure fully before using the bath or shower, normally about a day.

Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. An early reseal keeps water where it belongs.
